Wow, it seems life has changed quite a bit in China than what it was like when I was there (2002-2011). The author mentions that everything is using Wechat for e-payments and QR codes are every where. I wonder with such high rate of adoption and change, how secure every thing is.

2001-present here. Yes, Wechat for e-payments and QR codes are everywhere. How secure are things? Not that dissimilar to the west, which it to say that even high profile companies make stupid mistakes all the time. (Late last year, one international Chinese business made it impossible for me to report an issue trivially exposing vast amounts of highly personal user data.) (PS. I didn't read the article, because Bloomberg's website is so screwed up.)
